I like to sound of 205BHP but the wheel spin is bound to be mental. :lol:
Hows it goin for you? any problems?
You still gonna fit the RS4 exhaust so I can take your R32 set-up? ;)

Yeah wheel spin isnt a problem at the mo as i only get a heavy right foot from 2nd gear onwards.
RS4 exhaust is up for sale.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2004-VOLKSWAGEN-T" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... 286.c0.m14

because its interesting it runs a manual 6sp and the caddy only has a 5sp

wonder if the 6sp would be a straight swap?
I've been told it should be, its something I want to do too

Haven't checked the link but the 1.9 lump is the same one used in the mk4 golf and mk5 not to mention loads and loads of vw/audi's etc
so parts are really easy to come by and swap.

The caddy 1.9 uses a mixture of 1.9 tdi parts heres the low down
Inlet manifold off the 130/150 tdi (used in the mk4 golf not sure of other cars) its the biggest oem one used! :D
front mounted intercooler off 150 tdi again used in the mk4 and its a very good oem part :D
turbo is the one used in the 100 models :( (can be swapped tho :evil: )
thats the main things anyone know of any other things
maybe a faq is in order!
